COMMERCIAL SOUND SYSTEMS

From schools and restaurants to shopping malls and the workplace —

clear, intelligible sound is becoming an increasingly important part

of everyday life, and in places where it previously was given little,

or no, consideration at all. Distributed sound systems

are now being viewed as a priority, not an afterthought.

At Electro-Voice, we’ve recognized the expanded role of today’s

sound contractor, as well as the extra responsibilities associated

with that new role. Specifying and installing a system is complex

enough; deciding on the right products should be the easy part.

That’s why EV has taken much of the guesswork and “fear factor”

out of specifying a commercial sound installation. In the past, contractors

have faced the daunting task of matching different components that

would deliver the best end result, from input to output.That’s changed,

now, through EV’s “total design” approach. By offering a complete line

of components that are specified and matched for optimal performance, EV

customers and dealers can now easily assemble complete, end-to-end systems

that deliver proven results in any commercial sound application.

Now we are combining three proven brands of product to help the systems

contractor solve countless system design challenges. Our Dynacord, EV and

University commercial sound products each bring a history of reliability,

performance and value to any installation. No other manufacturer offers

design innovation at every point in the system from the source to the speaker.

This is the essence of EV’s “total design” concept and it is the perfect way to

ensure that a message gets across quickly, clearly and under budget. But for

a product line to be truly effective, it can never stop evolving. End-user needs

don’t stop changing, so why should a product’s development?

EV is continually upgrading, testing, reevaluating and refining its products,

to ensure that that they pass the most important test – meeting the needs of

their users. It’s a constant work-in-progress, combining factory expertise with

customer feedback.The end result is a commercial sound product line that

represents a complete solution, offering everything from the industry’s most

flexible digital matrix paging systems to the renowned EVID™series of

premium surface and ceiling mount speaker systems.These products make up

the total system philosophy from initial specification to final installation.

The EV/Dynacord advantage in distributed

systems is in our “total system” approach.

Each product is designed with the

system in mind. As these examples

illustrate, EV, University and Dynacord

products can offer a complete

distributed sound solution from the

paging microphone to the ceiling

speaker. Each component is

designed to work together resulting

in easy-to-create system designs

and trouble free operation. The

key to our system approach is

the variety of options available

in every product category. From

ceiling speakers and paging

horns to power amplifiers

and matrix routers, there are

multiple models which enable

the system designer to solve

virtually any installation challenge.

Comprised of dual 6-inch LF drivers and a 1-inch Ti/waveguide, the EVID 6.2 is perfect

for applications that require exemplary audio and the capability to fill large areas with sound.

Additionally, the flexible Strong-Arm-Mount

™

(SAM™) system provides the versatility to

accommodate any installation challenge. EV’s unique 6-inch dual woofer design delivers crisp and

clean program for the utmost in listening experience regardless of the location. Great for larger areas

that demand higher SPL levels, the 6.2 delivers the outstanding, full bass output required for shopping

malls, stadiums, airports, etc.

Identical to the EVID 6.2 but features a line transformer that offers selectable taps at 7.5 W,

15 W, 30 W and 60 W, allowing for easy connection to 70-volt or 100-volt speaker lines in distributed systems.

EVID 6.2t

Loaded with dual 3.5-inch LF drivers and a 3/4-inch Ti direct radiator, the EVID 3.2 produces

sound that defies its small size. Its unobtrusive profile is ideal for background music and paging

support in a wide variety of environments (e.g., offices, retail stores, restaurants, etc.) Coupled

with the 12.1 Subwoofer, two to four EVID 3.2 speakers deliver amazing SPL levels for

foreground music.

Identical to the EVID 3.2 but features a line transformer that offers a tap at

5 W (10 W for 100-volt systems), allowing for easy connection to 70-volt or 100-volt speaker

EVID 3.2t

The EVID™concept means innovation. Let’s face it, EVID is not just another speaker.

From the unique, superior design to its innovative acoustical integrity, EVID delivers

value, performance and ease-of-use to the contractor and end listener alike. In designing

EVID, we evaluated all the current products available and asked contractors and typical end

users,“What do you want?” End users wanted something attractive and superior sounding

amidst a world of plain black boxes. Contractors wanted a comprehensive line that would

provide flexible choices for easier system design and installations.We took your answers back

to the speaker lab. And we listened.With EVID, we have achieved these goals.The result is a

comprehensive background/foreground speaker line with the key characteristics installers need

and users want.

An 8-inch, 175-watt two-way, high-efficiency, constant-directivity speaker system for distributed sound applications requiring excellent sound reproduction.The small size, high sensitivity and high power-handling capacity of the SX-80TB make it an excellent choice for use in studios, clubs, bars, theaters or other applications.The high-frequency section of the model utilizes a molded-in 90° x 65° constant-directivity horn — a unique pattern that contributes to high intelligibility and aims the speaker output where it is most useful.The low-frequency section is an 8-inch direct-radiating woofer installed in an optimally-vented enclosure — resulting in exceptionally extended bass response and high efficiency in a very small cabinet. An internal, 60-watt line transformer offers selectable taps at 1.9, 3.8, 7.5, 15, 30 and 60 watts, allowing for easy connection to 70-volt or 100-volt speaker lines in distributed systems. Model comes in a black cabinet.
